A shattered mask

The eagle has subverted many members of the most powerful royal family in existence.

The last person who should be king of Amber is king.

Reality as we know it could end at any point...

Do I really need to bother with a mask right now?

No.

Terridus gave Garrick and Graham a side ways glance as he pulled off his mask and crushed it in his right hand. He took a small measure of satisfaction in their reactions to seeing his face. He steadied himself and thought back to his training on the pattern and started to walk.

"You know, that's a bigger deal than you may think it is."

Garrick said to Graham

If someone had told Terridus 100 years ago he'd be sitting on the throne of Amber, he would have laughed. If someone had told Terridus 50 years ago that his father would be so ok with turning the title over to Renee, he would have argued with them.If someone had told Terridus anything about the eagle ever, maybe he would be able to help...
